I think that if people want botanical ID's that they need to recognize the value of sideviews showing the outer tube and the sepals.
I get the very strong impression that most of the posters are looking to post 'pretty' photo gallery frontal views , which often lack sufficient characteristics to enable an accurate botanical ID.
I don't think it is an Operculina...the anthers aren't right...it looks like a small flowered Merremia , but nothing that I am familiar with..
I honestly cannot determine if the leaves and stems belong to the same plant that the bloom is on...
I have this copied to show a friend of mine who is a botanist in Thailand very interested in Convolvulaceae and I will post when I am able to contact him for feedback...we'll see what he thinks...
P.S. - photo # 1 and # 3 are exactly the same as is photo # 2 and # 4...
